| definitely check the weight. whenever I show a person my ring they always say- "this is platinum" just by the weight. and when I got an allergic reaction to my first e-ring that was white gold, we upgraded to a platinum band and the band alone [minus the price of the gold band] it cost us 1300 to upgrade! that is a significant difference. and both my ering and band say PLAT in the inside. keep us posted!

Ya i don't doubt mine...i bought mine from a well known store but took it to an independant jewler for my appraisal so...if there was any issues i would have learned it then...so...the guy who apparaised my ring had the exact same specs as what we were told when we bought the ring!  but ya....keep us posted..if you have any doubts.....do what you have to until you feel satisfied! Your going to have it the rest of your life.....of course you want to make sure it is what you think it is

I agree with previous posters, platinum is heavier than gold and it is always stamped PLAT just as gold is always stamped with the Karat, i.e. 14k etc.

not much of an update yet i'm afraid.. so many other things on the go right now  There is a goldsmith in town that does appraisals onsite.. so no sending the ring away, but it still will take 1-2 weeks! he does so many appraisals, so I'd have to leave my ring there... boo! I hate being with out it. but only $45 which I don't think is bad at all, for the piece of mind. If I go back to the original store I know they are going to have to send it away. I told FH last night that I want him to call the original store and find out what they will do for us. especially because we were thinking about getting our wedding bands there too. *sigh*. I wonder if he called... I'm going to have my ring brought in to the store to be all cleaned, claws tightened etc a few weeks before the wedding so if it comes down to it we'll do it all at once there. I just like the thought of having an outside pair of eyes take a look at it. on the (sort of) plus side... when i look really REALLLY REALLYY close at the inside of the ring I can kind of see the PLAT stamp... but it's so faint it's why I missed it. OR maybe i'm just wishfull thinking. LOL.
